Abstract
Copolymerization of styrene (St) and isoprene (IP) with nickel(II) acetylacetonate [Ni(acac)~2~] and methylalumoxane (MAO) catalyst was investigated. It was found that the Ni(acac)~2~βMAO catalyst is effective for the copolymerization of St and IP. From the copolymerization of St (M~1~) and IP (M~2~) and IP (M~2~) with the Ni(acac)~2~βmethylalumoxane catalyst, the monomerβreactivity ratios were determined to be r~1~ = 1,18 and r~2~ = 0,88, i.e., ideal copolymerization was found to proceed to give perfectly random copolymers without formation of any homopolymer. The microstructure of IP units in the copolymers exhibits high cisβ1,4 contents.
